ASEAN Youth Forum Job Vacancies:
Background
The ASEAN Youth Forum (AYF) is a regional movement that represents and advocates for young people's
human rights and freedoms in ASEAN. AYF has been a platform for the youth in ASEAN to raise their voice
and claim their rights for a sustainable, inclusive, people-centred, and youth-driven regional community.
The network aims to institutionalise and establish its national chapters to focus the engagement on
significant and timely local issues affecting Southeast Asian youth and consolidate policy proposals and
agendas to put forward to the relevant ASEAN offices.
2023 is a year full of challenges as well as opportunities for ASEAN. Entering the phase of post-COVID-19,
ASEAN still has many problems affecting the lives of young people. The issue of climate justice, the
humanitarian crisis in Myanmar, and youth welfare are still haunting. Beyond that, Indonesia, a country
where the ASEAN Secretariat and bodies have offices, is the chairperson of the ASEAN Summit this year. By
carrying out the theme of ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth, the Indonesian government has an
